This is so different from what I imagined!
Don't you even want to be humble?
What I said just now is very good. I didn’t want to be the president later. Now when I say you are willing to be the president, what do you mean? Grass!
Zhou Maoxue's expression gradually stiffened.
Finally, he sat back down in despair, his mind in chaos.
This move is really hard for him to understand...
Fang Zheng glanced at him sideways and sneered in his heart.
Damn it, I can’t even see the timing clearly, I’ve already pushed it twice.
Do you understand that there are only three things that can happen?
Li Yuanzhao took the opportunity to heighten the atmosphere: "In this way, the position of president has been decided. We welcome President Tang!"
"Hello, President!"
Li Yuanzhao took the lead, and there was a chorus of agreement.
Fang Zheng pressed his hands lightly and said humbly: "We are all friends. This is just a name given to facilitate everyone's actions, so there is no need to be cautious."
"But since you are so supportive, I bear the name of the president, so naturally I have to bear more responsibilities. If you have any questions or opinions, you can take the initiative to raise them with me, and I, the president, will do my best to solve them for you!"
"President Tang said it well."
Seeing Fang Zheng's high-spirited speech and listening to the voices of support in his ears, Zhou Maoxue felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Oh shit! I should be the one talking... After struggling for so long and building a relationship for so long, the results were stolen by a stranger who came out halfway.
Forget it, things are irreversible at this point, so let him be his own man. In the future, he will definitely have his own space for activities, and he will be able to make a name for himself among the crowd.
In addition, with so many people gathering to cause trouble, the court will definitely take action.
If the thunder comes, he can withdraw at any time without having to stand in front of him...
Zhou Maoxue kept comforting himself.
The scholar next to him was drinking wine happily. When he noticed something was wrong with Zhou Maoxue, he asked, "Brother Zhou, why are you shaking?"
"The wine... is a bit spicy." Zhou Maoxue forced a smile.
Seeing that the general decision was made, Fang Zheng raised his hand and said, "Now that this matter has been decided, let me share with you my preliminary thoughts."
"Right now, everyone is considered to be the elders of the Xingsheng Society and the core backbone of the organization. Naturally, Tang has great trust. But considering that in the future, we will continue to be active in the outside world and attract talents. In order to prevent interested people from sneaking into the society, I think I We should first establish a set of secret codes for the core to communicate with each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Is what the president said just like Jianghu gangs, who use slang or gestures to identify themselves?"
"That's right!" Fang Zheng said, "As all of you are scholars, it's naturally inappropriate to use slang, so we just choose a simple gesture to confirm each other's identities."
"The gestures used for communication need to be simple and meaningful, but I have already thought about it and it is just for your reference."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he raised his hand and extended his index finger, first making a nine and then a one.
It went back and forth several times until everyone in the audience could see clearly.
"Jiuyao? President, what does this mean? And the action is a bit too simple, isn't it?"
Facing a puzzled look, Fang Zheng raised his hand and explained, "Otherwise."
"The people here are all our own people, they are quite reliable, and we are all scholars and not gangsters. All we need is a simple, easy-to-understand and not too complicated gesture."
"In addition, this gesture also has a different meaning. It means clearing the world, rectifying the source, and unifying the ninety-nine. Of course, if you have other ideas, you can also put them forward and discuss them. You don't have to just listen to my family's opinions."
The scholars present faced each other in pairs, using their fingers to make the gesture of ninety-one, hooking their fingers back and forth, looking at each other with mysterious smiles.
Um! It's interesting. There's no need to make this thing too complicated.
And the meaning of Jiuyao is very good!
Li Yuanzhao was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Fang Zhengyi constantly hinting at him with his eyes, and said understandingly: "President Tang, I think even if this item is passed, the gesture of Jiu Yao is also excellent. There is no need to waste any more time. Let’s move on to the next item, after all, how you do things is the most important thing.”
Fang Zheng glanced around and saw no one objected, so he said, "Okay, let's decide on this communication gesture for now and use it specifically to distinguish outsiders. Now let's talk about how to act."
"But before I say anything, I still have to respect everyone's opinions. I don't know what you think. You can speak freely."
Zhou Maoxue did not hesitate and stood up immediately.
As for the idea, he has been brewing it in his mind for a long time.
Now that the position of president is falling apart, only by showing ability can one lead the people.
Zhou Maoxue faced his back and said loudly: "I have an idea. We sat in silence in front of the Marquis' Mansion before. Not only did Fang Zhengyi close the door, but even the court didn't respond at all."
"Obviously, I know I am wrong and want to delay time and minimize the big issue. Since the court dare not face it, then we must force the court to face our demands."
"So I think the most important thing right now is... to run the newspaper!"
Hearing that he wanted to file a newspaper, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao immediately looked at each other.
"Reply?" Excitement flashed in many people's eyes.
Everyone is well aware of the influence of that newspaper. If Xingshenghui's newspaper can stand upright, it will undoubtedly have a decisive influence in Beijing and even the world.
"But running a newspaper is not that simple. It requires a lot of money. Although we can't be said to be poor, we have very little left in the capital. We can't put out a fire that is far away. And even if we can do it, who will go to see it? What?" Someone was obviously aware of the problem.
Zhou Maoxue was unhurried: "It is better to let Chairman Tang pay the expenses for running the newspaper for the time being, and we can pay it back slowly in the future. As for the problem of no one reading it... it is actually not difficult to solve."
"There are only six newspapers and Banshan newspapers in central Beijing that distribute reports. They distribute them separately on weekdays. However, the six newspapers are in charge of one office, and they are outside the government offices. We can go to the newspaper office to buy informants. Send us and other newspapers to the yamen. The newspaper is sandwiched among the newspapers in the capital, and can be delivered to the court and even to His Majesty in less than a day."
"In addition, for Banshan Daily, we can also send people to contact people from all walks of life in the capital and many celebrities in Beijing, and deliver them for free without charging a penny. With such a trend, even the imperial court will never be able to ignore our demands again. Doing easy things."
After saying this method, he immediately won the support of most people, with fanaticism in their eyes.
Although he came here claiming to be doing good to the country, the court's path had gone astray and he had to correct it.
But in the final analysis, it is all personal gain.
The people who can be published in newspapers now are obviously famous figures or officials in society.
If the Xingshenghui's newspaper is completed, then it stands to reason that everyone will have the opportunity to publish an article in the newspaper and become famous in the circle.
If the court gives in and is willing to make up for the title of Jinshi, it will be double happiness!
Zhou Maoxue was also very proud of himself and looked at Fang Zhengyi with some pride.
It doesn’t matter whether you are the president or not, people’s hearts are the most important thing.
Fang Zhengyi had a faint smile on his face: "What a great idea! Brother Zhou is a great talent, and Tang is willing to bear the necessities of running the newspaper..."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Li Yuanzhao immediately stood up and yelled, "As you know, if you want to run a newspaper in the middle of the capital, you must go through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then get approval from the emperor's imperial pen. The influence of the newspaper is huge, and running the newspaper privately is tantamount to treason! "
"Once it starts, the Jin Yiwei will have absolutely legitimate reasons to catch us all! Therefore, we can't file a report!"
The joyful atmosphere in the courtyard dissipated in an instant. Li Yuanzhao's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down everyone's heart...
